25 | Wednesday, March 20, 2013 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Rotary Club of Oakville West THE 2013 OAKVILLE AWARDS Note from the Chair 2013 OABE Judges (from left to right) Thank you to the 2013 Oakville Award for Business Excellence judges What an honour it has been for this year's nine judges to serve on the judging committee for the 18th annual Oakville Awards for Business Excellence. Our new judges brought a fresh perspective to our experienced roster. The judges make outstanding contributions to their professions and some are past winners themselves. As always, the judges have a deep commitment to the judging process, each bringing a unique skill set and sharing a lively sense of humour. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the nominators. Without them, we would not be able to shine a spotlight on these deserving Oakville businesses. All the nominees are deserving of recognition for their achievements and I can tell you that it is always difficult to choose the final recipients. We thank the Oakville Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Oakville West for the opportunity to witness Oakville at work in so many enterprising ways. We, its citizens, can be proud of all the talented entrepreneurs and businesses that maintain their home base in Oakville.
